About Chesterton Hall
Chesterton Hall is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Cambridge (CB4 1BH). It has a recorded floor area of 142 m² (around 1528 sq ft) and construction records dating it to before 1900. It is a listed building, which means external alterations are tightly controlled but it may qualify for heritage tax reliefs. Period features are noted in the property record. At 142 m² this is the largest unit on EPC record across Chesterton Hall (90–142 m²). The building's EPC ratings span E to D, with this unit at the top. The latest certificate (June 2012) shows a D (score 64), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The rating has held steady at D across 4 certificates since March 2009. Between certificates, main heating went from Average to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 85), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2012, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
At 142 m² the property is well over the postcode median (93 m² across 12 EPCs), placing it in the larger end of the local stock. A recent sale: £500,000 in February 2025. Across the public record there are 5 sales, relatively high churn for a single property. Across 2009–2025, sale prices on this property compounded at 5.3% per year.
